Is it too much of a leap to think that most internet trolls display anti-social behavior?

Asked by rockfan (14627points) July 14th, 2017 from iPhone

I know that there’s been studies that say there is a link between internet trolling and anti-social tendencies, but I’m wondering if any of you feel differently?

I was watching a movie review on YouTube and in the comment section someone spoiled War For The Planet of the Apes, and in a very straightforward fashion. It turns out he actually manages his own movie review channel where he acts scincere and even mentions beforehand when he’s going to talk about a spoiler.

I feel like this behavior does come across as anti-social, but I have a feeling that most people who troll like this are simply seeking attention. Your thoughts?
